CRUEL DREAM

nephilim56 ( Norman Dickson)

I heard you whisper
Above the moonlight
While my thoughts
Were locked in dream
Travelling quietly
Upon a wanton kiss
By the wayside
Satin smooth.

I heard your heartbeat
Distant drumming
From a land
So far away
In a night
That gently nestled
Upon the midnight
Long gone day.

I felt your touch
In depth
Of gentleness
Your hand
To stroke my hair
As I awakened
To a cold dawn
You were not there.

    Was I there? Was it me? Or was I a figment of people's imagination? If so, no change there then for me. lol.
